Creating Urban Scenarios

Scenario Creation

A Source model consists of two parts - a project file and one or more scenarios. A project file is a wrapper for a collection of one or more scenarios. It identifies the project name, description, and any scenarios associated with the project. A scenario represents the major processes in a water resources system using Source's node-link framework.

  An Urban Scenario is used to represent the urban water cycle networks (water supply, stormwater, wastewater), ranging in scale from a single allotment up to large clusters or small subdivisions.

Once the Urban Developer Plugin has been installed, Urban Scenarios can be created like other scenarios in the core Source framework. Refer to Projects and scenarios for details. Figure 1 shows the main user interface for an Urban Scenario.
